Chat History stores every conversation you have with the AI, organised by session. Use it to revisit past interactions, continue a previous conversation, or export sessions for reference.

Session list

Navigate to JoomlaAI → Chat History.

Filtering

Viewing a session

Click the session title to open it in the Chatbot view in read mode. You can:

• Scroll through the full conversation.
• Continue the session by typing a new message (appended to the existing session).
• Click Export to download as Markdown or JSON.

Session titles

When you start a new chat, JoomlaAI generates a title from your first message (truncated to 60 characters). Click the title in the Chatbot view or Chat History list to rename it.

Retention

By default, sessions are retained for 90 days. The daily cleanup cron job (JoomlaAI: cleanup old data) purges sessions older than the retention period.

To change the retention period:

• Joomla: Configuration → Data → Chat history retention (days)
• WP: Settings → Data Retention → Chat sessions (days)

Setting to 0 disables automatic cleanup (sessions are kept indefinitely).

Privacy

• Chat content is stored in the #__joomlaai_chat_messages / wpai_chat_messages database table.
• Only the session's owner and users with the wpai_view_chat_history capability can view sessions.
• Super Admins / WordPress Administrators can view all sessions.
• The cleanup job purges old sessions, but active sessions are always kept.
